Multiple Facebook posts have shared a video that they claim shows an Israeli aircraft
downed by Islamic fighters during deadly clashes between Israel and Hamas in May 2021.
The claim is false: the video has circulated online since 2020 in unrelated reports about a
Syrian military helicopter shot down by rebels in the city of Idlib.
The video was shared here on Facebook on May 17, 2021.
The post's Bengali-language caption translates to English as: "All praise to the Almighty Allah, the Mujahid brothers shot down an Israeli plane."
A mujahid in its broadest sense refers to Muslims who fight on behalf of the faith.
